Chapter 39 Rescue is coming
Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng went back and forth, and it took them more than half an hour to move all the supplies.
The fishing boat was placed downstairs because Grandpa Su was staring at the fishing boat with a telescope in 1903. Once someone tried to rob the fishing boat, Grandpa Su would find out immediately and tell them.
The diesel in the fishing boat's tank had been drained, and the boat couldn't be driven even if it was seized.
Unless, there is diesel.
After returning home, Lu Xingtang went into the space to take a shower and change clothes. After he was fully refreshed, he knocked on the door of 1902.
As soon as Ji Yanmo opened the door, Lu Xingtang was almost vomited by the strong smell of blood and meat. As soon as he entered the house, Lu Xingtang found that Ji Yanmo's house was also very simple. The sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet and other furniture were moved to the balcony. They were kept clean and tidy. He was a very clean person.
The windows are made of explosion-proof and bulletproof glass like hers. Guardrails are also added outside the windows, also made of stainless steel. The doors of the three bedrooms have also been converted into stainless steel doors. The whole house is built like a fortress.
Seeing the living room piled high with beef and other supplies, Lu Xingtang smiled. She wouldn't have to go out to look for supplies for a long time.
After a while, Su Cheng came. As soon as Su Cheng arrived, the three of them began to divide the supplies.
Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng meant to give her more, saying that it was not easy for her to guard the supplies and make beef jerky. They slaughtered fourteen cows, brought back one-third, and made beef jerky with the remaining one-seventh. They also encountered bad people, and although nothing happened, they even got a fishing boat. But they both agreed that she contributed the most.
But Lu Xingtang insisted on splitting the bill equally. She didn't think it was safe to transport the supplies back to the community. How many robbers had they encountered along the way? And judging by the time, the two men returned to the houses without even a break. They had slaughtered all fourteen cows, and she hadn't contributed much.
Lu Xingtang insisted, and Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng followed Lu Xingtang's wishes. In fact, they all understood that it was impossible to determine who contributed the most and who contributed the least when the three of them worked together to find the supplies. Sharing them equally was a fair approach. If they did not share them equally, conflicts would inevitably arise over time. It would be better to set the rules in place from the beginning.
After sorting out the supplies and removing those that had been eaten, all the meat from the cow, including the head, tail, hoof, beef and beef jerky, was divided equally. The two gas cylinders in the house had been used up, and Lu Xingtang did not bring the gas cylinders back, but quietly put them into the space, as they might be useful someday.
The gas stove was brought back, but Lu Xingtang refused to take it on the grounds that he already had a gas stove at home. He also didn't take the big iron pot. The two gas stoves were given to Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng, the big iron pot was also given to Su Cheng, and the stainless steel bucket was given to Lu Xingtang.
21 pistols, three homemade rifles, two nail guns, a pistol, and a box of bullets. The three people each got 7 pistols and a homemade rifle. Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng each got a nail gun, and the other pistol was given to Lu Xingtang. The bullets were also divided equally.
The fishing boat was obtained by Lu Xingtang, so the fishing boat belongs to Lu Xingtang. They can use it, but they have to exchange supplies for the opportunity to use it, and diesel is not provided.
There were a lot of men's clothes, but Lu Xingtang didn't want any. Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng divided them up.
One of the three barrels of gasoline was used, and the remaining two barrels were divided equally. Ji Yanmo had gasoline barrels at home, so they divided them on the spot.
They also collected the rice and divided the remaining rice equally. There were four pieces of bacon left. Lu Xingtang said she didn't want any bacon, so she gave her the potatoes. She also divided some sausages and a box of instant noodles.
In fact, if you think about it, Lu Xingtang still suffered a loss. When Lu Xingtang moved the supplies back home, Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng secretly put in a few pounds of beef, and Lu Xingtang was unaware of it.
When they were moving for the last time, Lu Xingtang and Su Cheng were stopped by Ji Yanmo. He took four walkie-talkies from the room, assigned the channels and gave one to Lu Xingtang and two to Su Cheng. Although Grandpa Su was old and not in good health, he was not completely unable to help. He could at least help them keep an eye on the fishing boats, or when they were resting, if Grandpa Su found anything wrong, he could tell them through the walkie-talkie without Su Cheng having to knock on the door to inform them, which saved time and trouble.
Lu Xingtang and Su Cheng accepted it, "Everyone, have a good rest. After you've rested, we still have to go to Anyun Reservoir to catch fish!"
Lu Xingtang’s space has collected a lot of fish, but he still has to go to Anyun Reservoir, otherwise he will arouse suspicion.
After returning home, Lu Xingtang put all the supplies into the space and stacked them neatly.
When he woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Lu Xingtang rubbed his eyes, got up and washed. He had slept very soundly.
Turning on the intercom, "When do we leave?"
Lu Xingtang had just sent the bedding and other things into the space when the intercom rang: "We are ready and are waiting for you to wake up. Let's go!" It was Su Cheng's voice.
It was exactly ten minutes after Lu Xingtang washed up, had breakfast, changed her clothes and went out. Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng were waiting for her in the corridor. Seeing her rush out without even tying her hair, they said, "You're not in that rush!"
Lu Xingtang quickly tied her hair up and locked the door: "It's too late, there may not be a share for us, let's go."
Just as they were driving the fishing boat out of the community, they heard bursts of roaring motor sounds. It should be the rescue team that had arrived. In their previous life, they also came on the 17th day after a severe storm.
So they pulled over and used binoculars to observe. Sure enough, it was an assault boat and firefighters wearing orange life jackets.
For seventeen whole days, everyone felt that they had lost contact with the world. Just when people were running out of ammunition and food, rescue finally arrived.
The moment they saw the firefighters, everyone in the community broke down and burst into tears: "Rescue is finally here! We haven't been abandoned by the government! We're finally saved! We don't have to live our lives crammed into the corridors anymore! Woohoo..."
They cried and laughed at the same time, feeling helpless and bewildered, and kept wiping away their tears.
There were only two assault boats, and four firefighters arrived. A loudspeaker blared: "To all residents, we're sorry, we're late. Please don't worry. Our government will not give up on anyone in need. From the moment the natural disaster struck, we have never given up on saving lives."
However, this natural disaster has lasted far too long, and the entire imperial capital has suffered an unprecedented devastation. We have limited manpower, so please forgive our slow arrival. Please prepare your necessities. We will arrive tomorrow morning to evacuate you! Remember, simply pack your essentials, and prioritize the elderly and children. Please maintain order. We guarantee that everyone affected will be moved to a safe place. Please don't worry!
This time, the relocation only targeted low-rise residents, those affected by the flood. Lu Xingtang and his companions saw many people rushing downstairs from the boat. "Comrade firefighter, where are we going? The entire capital is flooded. Where can we live?"
